The Sagunt in Excelsis festival brings sacred music back to Sagunto's historic temples. This initiative, beyond its choral and organ programming, presents a fascinating scenographic challenge. In the niche of scenography for live performances, events like this are the perfect field for applying 3D modeling and simulation tools. Prior planning with digital technology is key to integrating sound, lighting, and audience in sensitive heritage spaces, optimizing the experience without compromising the heritage.
Acoustic Simulation and Mapping in Heritage Spaces 🏛️
Planning a concert in a historic church requires in-depth technical analysis. Through precise 3D modeling of the space, predictive acoustic simulation can be performed. This allows determining the best location for the choir, the organ, or an instrumental ensemble, ensuring optimal sound propagation for the audience. Additionally, video mapping projected on vaults or altarpieces can be designed beforehand in the 3D model, guaranteeing that the projections adapt to the irregular architecture and that the scenic lighting complements, rather than damages, the historic elements.
Previsualization as a Conservation Tool 🔍
3D technology serves here as a bridge between innovation and conservation. Previsualizing every detail of the setup avoids invasive interventions in the heritage during rehearsals. It allows testing different seating configurations, tracing safe cable routing paths, and studying lighting angles to enhance the architecture. Thus, the festival not only enriches musical culture but also establishes a respectful technical protocol for future events in irreplaceable historic spaces.
How are 3D modeling techniques and acoustic simulation used to design and plan lighting and scenographic installations that respect architectural heritage in sacred music festivals like Sagunt in Excelsis?
(PD: at Foro3D we know that even the best concert needs good lighting rigging)
